Somewhere hiding underneath
Kicking off covers while you sleep
Soon you're gonna leave, so leave us
One more weekend

You've got all the friends you need
Bad tattoos and worse IDs. You feel alive
Do you feel alive?

[Chorus:]
You'll go off, you'll forget
You'll grow out of hanging from the edges
Breaking off the past
You'll know when to move on
You'll know when to take all the right chances
Never looking back

Somewhere hiding underneath
Driving around these empty streets
Do you think you're better off dead
Better off dead than alive in here?
You've got all the friends you need
Bad tattoos and worse IDs. You feel alive
Do you feel alive?

[Chorus:]

How could you think the time we spent was all wasted
Sleepwalking through every morning that we took for granted?
Maybe the time we spent was not wasted...
Let it go, I'll let you go

[Chorus:]

We are half alone, out hearts are leaving home
Now we don't belong to anyone at all

Somewhere hiding underneath
Kicking off your covers while you sleep
You feel alive

    if all you have are "bad tattoos and worse IDs" to make you feel alive and young, you're trying too hard to force the feeling and it will eventually fade.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
